SAO PAULO - Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Saturday lashed out at the US administration's intervention in the internal affairs of Cuba and Venezuela.

"Our country stands in solidarity with the Cuban people, victims of a massacre fueled by US speculation. And we, as a party, must find ways to help them," he said during the closing ceremony of the 46th anniversary of the Workers' Party in Salvador, Bahia state.
